Overmars apologises but quits Ajax after series of inappropriate messages
February 7 – Marc Overmars has quit Ajax as sporting director over inappropriate messages, the Amsterdam club announced on Sunday.
The 48-year-old former Arsenal, Barcelona and Holland winger had held the position for 10 years and recently extended his contract until 2026, but his role has now come to an abrupt end after his inappropriate messages and subsequent talks with the club hierarchy led to his resignation.
An Ajax statement read: “A series of inappropriate messages sent to several female colleagues over an extended period of time underlies his decision to leave the club.”
Overmars said that he was “ashamed” of his behaviour.
